معرفی
Katie Hazelgrove is a Research Fellow in Psychological Medicine at King's College London. Her work focuses on maternal mental health, particularly postpartum psychosis and postnatal depression, with an emphasis on intervention development and risk assessment. She leads a project investigating neonatal behaviors and interventions for women with bipolar disorder (PSYCHIATRY RESEARCH TRUST funded, 2024-2026).
Her research integrates clinical psychiatry with developmental psychology, exploring biomarkers (e.g., transcriptomics), mother-infant interaction quality, and novel therapeutic approaches like singing interventions. Key contributions include the SHAPER-PNDO trial evaluating online singing programs for postnatal depression, demonstrating reductions in stress/anxiety symptoms.
Research themes include:
- Psychosis risk prediction in perinatal women
- Neuroendocrine mechanisms in maternal mental health (e.g., cortisol)
- Impact of maternal mental illness on child development
- Implementation of scalable mental health interventions
Data outputs include clinical trial datasets (e.g., SHAPER-PND trial data on Figshare) and collaboration with institutions across multiple countries.
